Mike Hamar



Mike Hamar (Wayne Robson) is a career criminal who was taken into Possum Lodge by Red Green for rehabilitation. While a nice guy in general, Mike's sticky fingers are always getting him into trouble, as he is constantly being found with other people's wallets, keys and possessions. He knows a lot about the criminal justice system, including what it's like to be in jail and how to ward off other criminals. This knowledge, ironically, lands him a job as a police officer at the end of the series.

Mike's personality has changed over the course of the show. In his earlier episodes, he wore a short pigtail and showed a strong inferiority complex, calling himself "useless" and apologizing for making simple mistakes, particularly in handyman projects. Later on, he dropped the pigtail and became more cheerful, open and outgoing. Periodically, other Lodge members will bring up Mike's criminal past out of the blue, usually by saying that people should stop bringing it up all the time, much to Mike's embarrassment.
